In 1986, he launched Buckley Systems, which now has offices in Auckland and Boston.

BSL manufactures and supplies precision electromagnets to the majority of the world market for use with such
technologies as computer chips, flat-screen televisions, whiteware,
medical systems and particle accelerators.

According to Buckley, between 80 to 90 percent of all electromagnets
and ion beam hardware supplied by the middle-tier providers to the big
name brands come from BSL. Everything it manufactures is exported to clients in the US, Britain, Europe,
Japan and other Asian destinations.

Buckley reckons the company's market share is fairly safe
due to its reputation and quality product, and the fact that its
specialist knowledge would make it extremely difficult for anyone else
to replicate what it was doing.

“For anyone to be serious opposition to me would cost them a lot of
money. What I can do for $1 million would cost them $10 million."
